This paper investigates the critical determinants for the adoption of mobile commerce (m-commerce) in Vietnamese small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from the perspective of managers. A perception-based conceptual model is developed with respect to the technology-organization-environment framework. The conceptual model is then tested and validated using structural equation modelling on the data collected from 513 SMEs in Vietnam. The study shows that perceived benefits, perceived compatibility, perceived security, perceived organizational readiness, and perceived customer pressures are critical for the adoption of m-commerce. As the first study on the critical determinants for m-commerce adoption in Vietnam, these findings are useful for SME managers as well as policymakers in designing policies as strategies to promote the wide development and diffusion of m-commerce in SMEs in Vietnam and other developing countries.

The global Muslim tourists' expenditure on gastronomy products is on the rise. However, to date few studies were conducted to empirically determine the behaviour of the Muslim tourists' especially from the Middle East countries towards Malaysian gastronomy. Therefore, the key purpose of the present study was to empirically determine the Middle East tourists' behaviour towards their dining experience in Malaysia by employing the basis of means-end model approach. The proposed conceptual model of this study was tested using structural equation modelling analysis. The findings revealed that gastronomy attributes, dining quality and overall satisfaction of dining experience were significant positive predictors of the Middle East tourists' behavioural intention. Theoretical and managerial implications are discussed and this paper ends with some suggestions for future research.

PT PAL Indonesia is one of the largest company engaged in the maritime field, the existence of competition at national and international very tight then the company should always have a good strategy in the field of technology and human resources, so in this study focused on the performance of employees in the engineering division general. The study is aim to determine the effect of environment, facilities, incentives and motivation to employees performance in PT PAL Indonesia general engineering division. Using the technique of analysis Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) - Partial Least Square (PLS). The result of this study is performance variable explained by environmental, facilities, incentives and motivation only 64,4%, while 35,6% explained by other variables, significant effect on the environment of motivation with the value of t statistic 3,412, significant effect on environment of performance variable with the value of t statistic 1,97, and significant effect on motivation of performance variable with the value of t statistic 1,82.

The purpose of this paper is to examine whether 1) E-WOM and subjective norm can predict purchase intention 2) E-WOM and subjective norm can predict brand attitude 3) brand attitude can predict purchase intention 4) brand attitude mediates the prediction E-WOM and subjective norm on purchase intention. The conceptual model and the analysis of related hypotheses were based on a convenience sampling of one of bubble tea brand’s consumers based in Jakarta. The data were collected using quetionnaire. In total, 153 participants responded to the survey. Structural equation modelling (SEM), specifically partial least square (PLS) was employed to analyze the data. The results indicate that E-WOM and subjective norm are positive and significant predictors towards brand attitude. E-WOM and brand attitude are positive and significant predictors towards purchase intention. brand attitude is positive and significant mediate E-WOM and subjective norm towards purchase intention. While subjective norm is negative and significant predictors towards purchase intention. Theoretical and practical contributions are discussed. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menguji apakah 1) E-WOM dan subjective norm dapat memprediksi purchase intention 2) E-WOM dan subjective norm dapat memprediksi brand attitude 3) brand attitude dapat memprediksi purchase intention 4) brand attitude dapat memediasi prediksi E-WOM dan subjective norm terhadap purchase intention. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode convenience sampling terhadap konsumen salah satu merek minuman boba yang berdomisili di Jakarta. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner dan data yang terkumpul sebanyak 153 responden. Teknik analisis data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu menggunakan structural equation modelling (SEM), tepatnya yaitu partial least square (PLS). Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa EWOM dan subjective norm memprediksi secara positif dan signifikan terhadap brand attitude. E-WOM dan brand attitude memprediksi secara positif dan signifikan terhadap purchase intention. brand attitude memediasi prediksi E-WOM dan subjective norm terhadap purchase intention secara positif dan signifikan, sedangkan subjective norm memprediksi secara signifikan dan negatif terhadap purchase intention. Kontribusi teoritikal dan praktikal juga dibahas dalam penelitian ini.

Permasalahan yang dihadapi oleh UKM salah satunya ada keterbatasan sumberdaya manusia, yaitu kurangnya pengetahuan dan informasi yang dimiliki sehingga berpengaruh terhadap kinerja UKM.  Menghadapi Masyarakat Ekonomi ASEAN akan mempengaruhi daya tahan UKM Kota Bogor karena persaingan yang semakin ketat dan melakukan perbaikan kualitas sumberdaya manusia pada UKM di Kota Bogor.  Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh dari organisasi pembelajar dan inovasi terhadap kinerja UKM Kota Bogor.  Penelitian ini dilakukan di Bogor dengan jumlah sampel UKM sebanyak 46 UKM dan sampel responden berjumlah 149 orang.  Teknik pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan menggunakan teknik multi stage sampling yaitu gabungan dari teknik stratified random sampling dan proportional sampling. Pengolahan data menggunakan analisis Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) dengan pendekatan Partial Least Square (PLS).  Hasil analisis pada penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa (1) terdapat pengaruh yang siginifkan antara organisasi pembelajar terhadap inovasi, (2) organisasi pembelajar memberikan pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap kinerja UKM, (3) inovasi memberikan pengaruh yang signifkan terhadap kinerja UKM Kota Bogor.The lack of human resources is one of the problem that small and medium enterprises (SMEs) has faced.  Human resources in SMEs dont have sufficient knowledge and information and it effects the performances of SMEs.  Dealing with people of ASEAN Economic Community will effect the resistance of SMEs in Bogor, due to the competitive and making an increase in quality of human resources towards SMEs in Bogor.  This research was to analyze the effect of the learning organization and innovation towards performance of SMEs in Bogor.  This research was conducted in Bogor with 46 samples for SMEs and 149 for respondent samples.  The technique of sampling was conducted by using multi stage sampling namely the combination of stratified random sampling and proportional sampling.  The tabulation data was analyzed by Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) by approaching of Partial Least Square (PLS).  The result of this research were (1) the existence of significant influence between learning organization toward innovation, (2) the learning organization gives a significant effect towards the performance of SMEs, (3) innovation gives a significant effect towards the performance of SMEs in Bogor.
